General Description

The primary function of the Psychological Services and Training
Center (The Clinic) is to provide an introduction to clinical training
for clinical psychology graduate students. The secondary function of the
Clinic is the provision of quality psychological services to residents
of the Greater Seattle area, including UW faculty, staff, and
students.

The UW Department of Psychology partially subsidizes the training
function of the Clinic, which allows us to offer psychological services
at substantially reduced fees. This fee policy enables us to reach many
typically underserved populations such as low-income, ethnic and sexual
minorities, as well as children and families.

An additional goal of the Clinic is the integration of research
and clinical training. Toward that end, there is an ongoing program
evaluation in which all trainees, their supervisors, and their clients
participate. Additionally, students and faculty are welcome to make use
of the Clinic for approved research projects.
